SAN ANTONIO — A man who previously denied that he robbed any banks has now admitted to a string of local heists.

Larry Elmoe Drummer, 26, pleaded guilty Wednesday to a single count of bank robbery for a Feb. 1, 2013, heist at the Chase Bank at 510 NW Loop 410 in which $8,581 was taken.

But as part of his plea deal, Drummer admitted prosecutors could prove he also participated in the robberies of the same bank on Jan. 2, 2013, in which $11,000 was taken; a robbery on Dec. 19, 2012, at Frost Bank at 10251 Wurzbach Rd. in which $4,296 was stolen; and a heist at Security Service Federal Credit Union at 602 NW Loop 410 that netted $1,000.

Drummer will face up to 20 years in federal prison when he's sentenced early next year.

In an interview with a local TV station before his arrest earlier this year, Drummer said, “They don't have any fingerprints, any money ... they don't have any clothing.” He also told KABB that authorities are punishing him for the actions of his father, who was arrested a few years ago for swindling the elderly.
